Safari Lodge Zambia | Puku Ridge Tented Camp

 

Visitors come to Puku Ridge to revel in the abundance of wildlife and the comforts of a traditional old-world safari camp.  Named for the elusive Puku antelope which never strays far from water, this beautiful camp among the trees overlooks a sweeping expanse of the fertile Kakumbi dambo (valley).  Here, the living is easy for both visitors and wildlife. 

 

Puku Ridge Tented Camp is small and intimate, built unobtrusively close to the wild.  Each of the seven comfortably furnished safari tents has its own lavish bathroom which provide the option of taking a shower with the sun on your shoulders.  

The diverse wildlife along the the dambo offers great opportunities for photography, whether you choose to explore on foot with a keen-eyed guide, or range further afield in a safari vehicle.  And in the evenings, you dine with the night sounds of Africa for a soundtrack.

Puku Ridge inhabits a remote world of its own, watching the ancient patterns of life and survival while treating its visitors to enjoyable civilised hospitality.  

Accommodation is available in 7 spacious walk in canvas safari tents with a wrap around view of the flood plains below.  Each tent contains private bathroom facilities.  Well lit pathways cleared of undergrowth connect the tents to the main bar/lounge.  The natural vegetation has been left as undistributed as possible.  

 

Meal times are at the usually accepted times but can be dependent on safari activities.  A wide range of cuisine is served blending local ingredients with international flavours.  Meals will be served outdoors whenever possible.
